We are still looking for a SEMA SL for our shop. If you commit to a kit in next few days we can do it for a very low price installed and painted.

This is what it will look like in the end:

This is my fav kit...it's clean without the "kitted" look and not the "trying too hard" or "boy racer" look of the Misha kit. This kit flows more with the body lines, like something that the factory could have come up with as a next trim line to the functional 65BS kit which is designed from significant engineering data and testing.

The other day you said you found a donor sl. Are you still looking for one? What can one expect with the cost for parts?
